"Things like teamwork, problem solving, overcoming setbacks, working collaboratively are things that happen in the work place. These are the skills I learned in the NFL, and these are the things I’m looking to translate to the business world."

"I have really enjoyed getting to know my classmates and learning more about their backgrounds. I feel very comfortable approaching my professors and getting their guidance. I can also reach out to my advisor at any time and I know she will try to help me navigate through the program.

My goal at Saint Mary's is to achieve business acumen so that I can help drive my company in a 'big picture' sort of way. My goal coming out of grad school is to find a career path that I can be passionate about and have a network that can steer me to that path and upward. My long term aspiration is to be a manager of professionals in a setting where I am coaching high potentials and guiding them to success.

In the past, I have worked as both a continuous improvement engineer and project manager in various industries. Understanding how to prioritize and work effectively in team settings as well as adapt quickly to change prepared me for my MBA experience."
